2.  Last 30 minutes: Mini-workshop:

• Note what you are struggling with, questions you have or feedback you want on what you've written thus far.
• Groups of 3-4: share your sample and get feedback (Does the sample SHOW the place? Do you know what environmental ethic(s) you're trying to develop? Do you have a SPECIFIC relationship OR attachment to place you're going to be developing?)
• 1-2 volunteers to share a sample of your writing with the class
